Sara Grahovac has been living in Tofino since 2010. The 31-year old has savings in the bank, steady employment, and is the proud owner of Slick Licks Pops Tofino. She currently has a good rental situation, but says she’s ready to buy. Unfortunately, after attending the Mortgage 101 session during Saturday’s Tofino Housing Forum, Grahovac has come to the bleak realization that, in its current real-estate climate, she will never be able to own a home in the town Josie Osborne she’s loved for the past seven years. “[Slick Licks] is doing well. Every year when I crunch the numbers at the end of the season, it’s doing well. I’m putting out more and making more so there is that feeling of opportunity that I am succeeding, which is really nice,” said Grahovac.“However owning a home in this town or looking forward to the future of owning a home or even just renting a bigger space for my business is next to impossible right now…I’m doing really well, I think, but I can’t seem to grow anymore. So what do I do about that? I’m stuck in this spot. It’s not the best place to be.”

Washed up bags kept secret for a week ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca
Parks Canada has launched an investigation after discovering thousands of empty aquaculture feed bags washed up around the Broken Group Islands and local volunteers, along with MP Gord Johns, are scratching their heads wondering why they didn’t hear about the incident until a Parks Canada memo was leaked to the media a week later. “Approximately 2,000 plastic bags have been removed from four of the inner islands,” a Parks Canada spokesperson told the Westerly News on Friday.

“As storm season makes it challenging to reach all areas of the Broken Group Islands, Parks Canada will continue to assess the scope of the incident and clean up debris within the park reserve as weather permits.” The bags were discovered on Nov. 10 and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada is assisting with the investigation. “We are still determining the origin of the incident,” a DFO spokesperson told the Westerly News on Monday. News of the bags washing up broke on Nov. 17 and Courtenay-Alberni MP Gord Johns issued a statement urging the federal government to immediately clean up the bags and questioning why they were kept secret for a week.

A parked vehicle rolled through the front window of a Ucluelet art gallery on Saturday night. Signy Cohen was working at a cafe across from her Reflecting Spirit Gallery when a driverless sport utility vehicle rolled down the sloped parking lot of Davison Plaza and crashed through her gallery’s storefront around 7 p.m. Const. Marcel Midlane of the Ucluelet RCMP said the vehicle’s owner was at the scene when police arrived and advised they had parked their vehicle to shop at the plaza. “It looks like the vehicle, which was a standard, had either popped out of gear or not been in gear and rolled across the parking lot and, because it’s a sloped lot, rolled into the front of the building, which caused the glass to shatter,” Midlane said. “Obviously, we encourage people to use your emergency brakes and make sure your vehicle’s in park, especially if you’re driving a standard.” He said no injuries were reported in the incident and an investigation is ongoing. “There was no drugs or alcohol involved,” Midlane said. “It’s assumed to be an accident at this point and is being investigated as such.”

The gallery was open, with the broken window boarded up, on Monday morning and Cohen told the Westerly News that she was amazed by the community’s rapid response to the incident as locals quickly assembled to protect her art from Saturday night’s blustery weather. “I was so amazed that the community stepped in really fast,” she said. “My heart goes out to the community and a great big, ‘Thank you’ for their preparedness to step in and come to the rescue and help in a situation like this.” She said by the time she heard about the incident, a local carpenter was already putting plywood over the window and several people came to help her clean up the “mountain of glass” outside her store. She said Sunday was spent cleaning the inside of the gallery and she feels fortunate that the damage to her artwork was minimal. “There was damage to some art pieces, but very little. We were lucky,” she said. “And, there was a miracle in this whole thing. There was a 3’ by 2’ beveled stained glass window sitting right at the impact area and it did not break. It was just sitting in the window sill, on an angle, totally in tact…So that was pretty amazing.”

USS defeated Mulgrave School in West Vancouver to earn a spot in the provincial championships this week. “We really nailed it down to communicating and calling the ball, talking to each other and letting each other know what we were going to be doing,” he said. “It’s a competitive game and it involves a lot of communication and that was the big premise for us. Each student has the skill level to play. It’s just working on the communication and working together as a team.” He said he was thrilled to see his team secure the win, but noticed several areas to focus on and improved before heading to the provincial championships in Kamloops next week. “They served extremely well. They kept tough serving all through the match never

really letting Mulgrave get any rhythm going…At times there were some plays that we should have cleaned up a little bit better, but it’s always a mixed reaction because they did what they needed to do to win,” he said. “You always want them to go out there and perform at the highest level but, at the end of the day, they did what they needed to do to walk away with a win and we get to go on to the provincials next week.” He added every player played a role in the victory. “Everybody on the team was able to get in,” he said. “We have eight players on our squad and everybody was contributing. Whether it be passing, hitting or serving,
everybody got playing time and everybody contributed to the overall win.” The team will head to Kamloops on Nov. 22 and the provincial tournament starts on Nov. 23. “We’ve got a competitive team and we have a strong chance to do well at the provincials. We’re going to put some time in this week preparing, physically and mentally, and we’ll bring the goods next week and, hopefully, we’ll be able to put together a little bit of a run at the right time and the right spot,” Grigg said. “Because we’re playing in those competitive settings, the communication has to be there.”

Ucluelet Secondary School’s senior boys volleyball team earned a spot in B.C.’s Single-A provincial championships in dramatic fashion last week. A second place finish at the Vancouver Island championships earned the local squad a best-of-five showdown with West Vancouver’s Mulgrave School on Nov. 14 where the winner earned a provincial berth and the loser’s season ended. USS breezed through the pressure-filled matchup by winning three straight sets, 25-8, 25-15 and 25-16 to secure the provincial spot. This is the third time a USS senior boys volleyball team has reached the provincials, the most recent trip resulted in an eighth place finish three years ago, but it will be the first provincial experience for each of the team’s current players. “This is the first time this squad is going to provincials,” head coach Bryan Grigg told the Westerly News after the win. “They’re pretty stoked. They’re definitely excited about having the opportunity.” Traveling to West Vancouver meant an early start for the team and Grigg said the travel-time gave him a chance to talk his players through the pressures of a win-or-gohome style matchup.

Behest of the West
Why were our volunteers benched as bags flew? Just when we were all getting set to nestle ourselves into holiday cheer, a bunch of garbage arrived in our backyard and Grinched our attention away from good tidings’ doorstep. The holly’s on hold, our halls have been decked with boughs of plastic and instead of laughing through the snow, we’re fretting through endless empty bags. How we got here is as perplexing a question as whether reindeer really know how to fly. Our Coast became national news last week when the story broke that thousands of empty, plastic, aquaculture feed-bags landed on our shores. It happened almost exactly one-year after over 30 styrofoam shipping con-

There’s no way the National Park Reserve couldn’t have used some help lassoing thousands of empty plastic bags riding the West Coast’s winds. Why were our volunteers kept on the bench and in the dark when they could have been helping clean up the mess a week prior? And, had that memo not been leaked, when would we have been told what had landed on our shores?

The Ucluelet Local Food Society and Tofino Community Food Initiative are sponsoring a lecture titled: Towards a GE-Free Community, Ucluelet Council Chambers, 7PM December 6th; and in Tofino: Botanical Gardens Ecolodge classroom, 7PM December 7th. Our presenter, Arzeena Hamir, a soil scientist and Comox Valley organic farmer will provide insights into the real costs of growing and farming genetically engineered (GE) foods. From seeds to salmon, multinational biotechnology companies own patents to an ever growing list of new life forms. While these companies assure the public that their products are safe, the reality is we just don’t know. Governments and 3rd parties, like universities, whose job it is to verify claims of safety, are hamstrung by factors such as: proprietary intellectual property rights; and funding for the development of tools to monitor these new life forms. Safety issues continue to persist, worrying consumers, scientists, and farmers. As well,conventional and organic farmers face added risks of their crops being contaminated by GE plant pollen; or the possibility of being sued by biotech companies for GE patented crops inadvertently showing up in their fields. Arzeena’s has been leading the charge to emulate many European Union members in declaring areas GE-Free zones. Arzeena was instrumental in getting the Council of Richmond – one of BC’s largest agricultural regions – to declare itself GE-Free. Many municipalities across BC have been following suit. Some examples: Victoria, Metchosin, the Kootaneys. Can we do the same for our area? Do we need to? Our West Coast communities possess unique and pristine habitats. Declaring our region to be GE-Free could provide unique economic opportunities for our communities, beyond preserving the integrity of our environment. Come and join us for a stimulating lecture and discussion. Jeanne Keith-Ferris Ucluelet Local Food Society

They should continue by picking up the rest of the garbage that is found everywhere, then clean up all the logs that are smothering the beaches and then removal of the Japanese oysters.

Alberni Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD) – West Coast Multiplex Survey Communities* on the west coast have, for some time, been considering the construction of a multiplex facility through the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District in partnership with the West Coast Multiplex Society. The first phase of the multiplex will contain an ice rink (along with seating, change rooms, and meeting spaces) that can be converted to a dry surface for community events, indoor sports, or to be used as an emergency shelter. Capital construction costs are intended to be paid through grants and donors. The annual operational costs will be paid in part by area property owners through taxation to the ACRD. The ACRD is seeking your feedback. A short survey has been mailed out to registered property owners in the survey area, and each envelope contains a stamped, self-addressed envelope for the return of the survey to the ACRD. If you are not a registered property owner, if you do not receive a copy, or if more than one person in your household would like to fill out the survey, please go to

Fresh off his huge fundraising success during the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock bike ride, Const. Marcel Midlane of the Ucluelet RCMP is using a different kind of handlebar to raise funds for a good cause.
Tour de Rocker switches gears to Movember Const. Marcel Midlane hopes to raise at least $1,000 for men’s health this month ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca
With winter frost all settled in, it’s a good time for the local male population to start nurturing some natural face warmers. November has men around the world growing moustaches in celebration of Movember, an annual international fundraiser that supports research and awareness around prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Const. Marcel Midlane of the Ucluelet RCMP is proudly wearing a prominent Movember moustache for the seventh time and said it’s a rewarding and important experience to participate in. “It’s a fun way to help raise awareness for men’s health issues by actually showing something on your face that you’re supporting the cause,” he said.
“I think there’s a lot of health issues that men face that don’t get spoken about. A lot of it falls silent until it gets too far gone where they needed help and never got it.” Midlane is the only member of the Ucluelet RCMP detachment to be participating in Movember this year and he hopes to raise at least $1,000 by month’s end. “I know a lot of people are probably tapped out after fundraising all year, but this is still a great cause,” he said. Anyone wanting to support Midlane’s efforts can donate to his page at ca.movember.com/donate. The popular local cop is coming off a hugely successful Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock experience earlier this year that saw him raise over $60,000 for paediatric cancer research and Camp Goodtimes, a weeklong trip for families battling cancer.
Tour de Rock is the largest of four Cops for Cancer bike rides in B.C. and the Tour de Rock team rides roughly 1,000 kilometres across Vancouver Island, visiting about 30 communities along the way, to drum up support and raise awareness. “That was awesome,” Midlane said. “It was an amazing experience.” He said the journey put the team faceto-face with families of cancer victims and survivors who explained what Cops for Cancer’s efforts have meant to them. “There were times when we were all choking up and holding tears back or crying,” Midlane said. “[Camp Goodtimes] helps those kids and helps those families, everywhere from family bonding to relationship-saving for some of the parents because going through these tough times for some of them just rips their family apart.”
He said he was proud to see his home community back him up in a big way when the Tour de Rock team rode into town for Ucluelet’s annual head-shave on Sept. 30. “I can’t say, ‘Thank you’ enough to everybody who came out and supported us. This community is so amazing” he said. “I think, by far, we had the most head shaves of any community when we stopped here and that says something about this town. “My teammates were blown away by, not only the amount of money that we raised here, but the support from everybody who showed up.” RCMP are only allowed to participate on the Tour de Rock team once in their careers, but Midlane said he plans to continue to support the event through future fundraising efforts.

From A1 Grahovac’s story reflects one of many Tofitians who have a strong desire to grow, but with no feasible option available, they are considering jumping ship. “My business is not so huge that I can still move it and do it elsewhere so I am thinking about doing that,” she said. According to Ian Scott, executive director of the Tofino Housing Corporation, the average house price for a person with an income of $66,000 is $200,000 to $230,000. Property in Tofino starts at $469,000, and only goes up. The recent partnership between the District of Tofino and the Tofino Bible Fellowship is the silver lining of the town’s escalating housing shortage. Eighteen hectares of land behind the community hall near Tonquin Trail, officially know as District Lot 114, is earmarked for affordable housing. But, even if the project gets fast-tracked, construction wouldn’t begin until 2019, said Scott. In the meantime, established locals like Mathieu Amin are opening up their lands to house the influx of seasonal staff. About a year ago, Amin was granted a temporary use permit to operate a staff accommodation campground for up to 70 people. To stay on his grounds, tenants must have a job and there is a 30-day minimum stay. Last summer, Amin housed about 50 people. “I tried to make the place as comfortable as possible, building showers and bathrooms and

having laundry a kitchen area and Wi-Fi. Basically everything a person would need to be comfortable in a living environment, given that they are living in a tent or a van,” he said. Fish and Loaves Humane Society member John Enns told the Westerly he thinks council has good intentions, but he still feels there is reluctance to change from the existing paradigm of housing. “We need to change the hearts and minds of not only council, but staff in order to have affordable, livable, and maintainable housing in Tofino,” Enns said. Mayor Josie Osborne stressed the fact that the District is not the only problem solver. “None of us can do this on our own. The District of Tofino can’t do this on its own. The developers can’t do it on their own, the Housing Corporation can’t, the Bible Fellowship can’t, we are all in this together,” she said. “I don’t know what all the answers are going to be, I just know it’s going to take every single one of us to work on it.” Osborne urged all residents to complete the Tofino affordable and attainable housing survey, which can be found by visiting: Tofino.ca/ housing. Grahovac reiterated the mayor’s call-to-action. “There are a lot of people in the community that talk a lot about their issues on the topic, but don’t participate. It’s just like in voting for your Prime Minister. If you want, let’s say a pension, you have to participate and get involved,” she said.

Tofino-Ucluelet Westerly News
Drug problems hit Ukee ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca
Ucluelet’s police have hurdled summer’s spike in tourist action and are now preparing to focus on local drug use. “One of the biggest ones, that we’re hearing from the community is a concern, is drug use, which you’re going to find in any community that you’re living in,” said Sgt. Steve Mancini. “Ucluelet’s not out of the norm. It is what it is. It’s everywhere…That is something that, as a detachment, we want to focus our efforts on in the coming months and, I think, Steve Mancini we’ll be able to put some good work together for that.” Mancini’s words came during a presentation he gave to Ucluelet’s municipal council last week to bring them up to speed on the community’s policing efforts. He said Ucluelet’s RCMP had a predictably busy summer and local police had their hands full, especially after losing a member, mid-summer, to a promotion to the mainland,
which dropped the roster from four constables to three. He added though that a new officer arrived in October, Const. Mark Brown, who spent the past four years policing in Nunavut, to bring the detachment back to a full-complement of constables. He said he is currently putting a business case together to expand his team to five constables to better serve the community and added that locals can expect to see some turnover early next year as two local officers are scheduled to be transferred from Ucluelet’s limited duration post. “We’ll work with our staffing people to make sure that the people that we’re getting are going to be good fits for our community,” he said. Mancini, who transferred to Ucluelet in May, said he plans to keep an open-door-policy at the detachment and encourages locals to reach out by visiting the detachment at 1712 Cedar Road or phoning 250-726-7773. “If anybody has any issues or is seeing things in town that they want to talk about, by all means, pop by the detachment or give me a call,” he said. “I’d be more than happy to have a sit down with anybody and discuss anything that’s going on.”
Empty bags cover coast From A1 “It was a year ago this month that these same coasts were littered with debris from the Hanjin spill which has still not been fully cleaned up,” Johns said. “Adding insult to injury, we are only finding out about this incident through the media while local governments and First Nations have not been advised and the many mariners in our coastal communities who are out on the water and the shores have been left in the dark for more than one week.” Surfrider Pacific Rim chair Michelle Hall said she, like Johns, found out about the incident on Nov. 17 and imGord Johns mediately reached out to the Park Reserve to see how she and her volunteer team could help, but didn’t hear back. With sightings pouring in over social media though, Surfrider was able to host cleanups at various West Coast beaches where bags had been spotted and Hall said she was thrilled to see willing volunteers pour in on both Saturday and Sunday. “There were lots of people on the beach and lot’s on really great enthusiasm and stoke and sharing of ideas,” she said adding locals organized their own cleanups of various areas. “It’s part of who we are. We all choose to live here. We feel it.” She said the beach cleanups yielded a much more gruesome collage of plastic pollution than just bags alone and spoke to her support of Courtenay-Alberni MP Gord Johns’ Bill M-151that calls for a national strategy to combat plastic pollution. “It’s not only about what do we do when these incidences occur, but what are we doing about single-use-plastics already in the environment,” she said. “We’re buying plastic products all of the time and it’s washing up on our beaches, but no one’s going after that. We’re going after who spilled these plastic bags, when all of this stuff is washing up on our beaches everyday.”
“Adding insult to injury, we are only finding out about this incident through the media.” – Gord Johns Hall said Surfrider would not be seeking financial compensation from Parks Canada for their cleanup efforts, but will be asking for increased communication so that incidents like the spilled bags can be responded to more quickly. “We realize that they’re the experts of dealing with these cases, but I’m not sure why there’s been so much secrecy around it when there’s obviously a lot of people who are willing to help,” she said. The bags cleaned up by volunteers over the weekend all had Taplow Feeds’ logo on them, but it is unclear if the bags found by Parks Canada on Nov. 10 were also Taplow bags. A Parks Canada spokesperson said details about the bags found around the Broken Group Islands will not be released while the investigation is ongoing. Taplow’s vice president Brad Hicks told the Westerly News on Sunday that he believes the bags spilled off a barge in the Alberni Inlet during an Oct. 18 storm. He said the barge belongs to Omega Pacific, which also lost a house that was on the barge during the storm. “Here’s these poor people, they’ve lost a barge, they’ve lost a house and, rather than sympathy, they get ridiculed,” Hicks said. “I’m an old farm boy and if a neighbour’s farm burned down, you went and helped them. You didn’t go after them.” He said Parks Canada has not reached out to Taplow Feeds. “We’re almost just a bystander in this incident. They’re our bags, but we sold them to somebody else years ago. We’re happy to continue with responsibility, but, at the end of the day, ownership of those bags transferred hands six years ago,” he said. “We can talk to Parks Canada, but, really, it’s between the Coast Guard, Parks Canada and Omega Pacific.” Read more at www.westerlynews.ca.

Providing opportunities for seniors to socialize is a vital tool for keeping a key resource engaged. Statistics Canada’s latest Census results proved that seniors are one of Ucluelet’s fastest growing demographics as the community saw its 65 and older crowd balloon from 160 in 2011 to 205 in 2016. It’s a demographic that boasts a goldmine of knowledge and life-experiences to pass down to younger generations and Ucluelet is hoping to create valuable connections between the senior’s community and its younger locals through a proposed seniors’ hub at the Community Centre. “Our goal is to provide a place for seniors to gather, to socialize, to share their skills, to network and to contribute to the community,” said the West Coast Communities Resources Society’s Seniors Hub Outreach Coordinator Paulette Bellavance. “Ucluelet is a great place to live and [seniors] are part of our community. We want to keep them here and we want to welcome them here.” Anyone wanting to provide input into what the seniors’ hub should look like and offer is encouraged to attend an open house at the

Bellavance said the seniors’ hub would give older locals a place to socialize and network while also benefitting younger demographics as seniors can be vital mentors within their community. “If you’re engaged and you’re interacting with people, you have things to look forward to and it’s a better overall quality of life,” she said. She added that she hopes to see seniors get involved in the planning and creation of the hub and take ownership of its offerings. “We want this to be for seniors, by seniors,” she said. “So, it’s empowering the seniors too; to be involved in the community and to provide for each other.”

Community forest funds Toquaht and Ucluelet to receive $750,000 each

PUZZLE #17B410
– Mayco Noel “That’s the fun part,” said Noel. “We’re going to have to do a bit of community engagement to come up with some great ideas.” “Everyone is going to have their own opinions. Everyone is going to want to dice it up and take on small projects. I’d rather see the money come in large bulks and I’d like to see one large project taken on that would really benefit everyone in the community,” he said. Noel credited Western Forest Products for the success of the project. “Logging in the west coast is a sensitive topic and I think how [Western Forest Products] has managed it from the bidding process to how its been harvested throughout the phases, they’ve done a wonderful job.” He said the logging company worked hard to mitigate any kind of impact on any creeks and fish bearing streams. Maps of the community forest can be viewed at: www.barkleyforest.ca.
HOROSCOPE ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you might feel like you do not measure up to others this week. How others see you is completely different from your perception. Don’t be too hard on yourself. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, letting go is a hard lesson to learn this week. You may have to retire a plan that just can’t come to fruition. But don’t worry, new ideas are in the works. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, try not to hold onto negative emotions. Focus on all of the happy memories you have made with others and your mood will instantly brighten. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Honesty is the best policy, Cancer. So have that frank conversation with someone even if full disclosure can be a bit uncomfortable. Afterward, you’ll be glad you did. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Don’t underestimate your abilities, Leo. You are imaginative and creative when the mood suits you, as it will this week. Look for your muse and get started. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, stay open to external influences and you may be able to infer some things about the future that can guide you in the days ahead. It’s good to stay ahead of the curve.

Come February 2018, the District of Ucluelet and Toquaht First Nation will receive a massive windfall of cash from a shared community forest project launched in July 2015. About $1.5 million will be coming back to the two communities in the New Year, which they will divvy in half. “It should be an annual thing. Obviously, with the markets right now, western red cedars are at an ultimate high,” said councillor Mayco Noel. “I think, you’ll probably see the windfalls go downhill a little bit after this. But, I think, with the markets and the model that they are using with the highest bidder wins, that it’s a model that will continue to provide positive results for the two communities.” Noel projected that the District of Ucluelet will receive a second cheque for about $500,000 in December 2018. He said the District has no big plans for the funds at this point.
“It should be an annual thing.”
